520    Recounts the fateful 1912 gridiron clash that pitted one 
       of America's finest athletes, Jim Thorpe, against the man 
       who would become one of the nation's greatest heroes, 
       Dwight D. Eisenhower. The story begins with the massacre 
       of the Sioux by the U.S. Army at Wounded Knee in 1890, 
       then moves to rural Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indian 
       School, an institution designed to "elevate" Indians by 
       uprooting their youths and immersing them in the white 
       man's ways--including football. Guided by genius coach 
       Glenn "Pop" Warner, the Carlisle team stormed the country,
       humiliating such powerhouses as Harvard, Yale, Michigan, 
       and Wisconsin, and smashing American prejudices against 
       Indians. By 1912 the national championship was within 
       their grasp. Then, less than a quarter century after 
       Wounded Knee, the Indians would confront, on the playing 
       field, an emblem of the very institution that had 
       slaughtered their ancestors on the field of battle.--From 
       publisher description.
